   “I don’t care about your calls for a premature ceasefire, about your demand that we provide them with electricity, that we stop fighting for ‘humanitarian reasons.’
   …
   I don’t care that you wave the flag of ‘human rights’…that you shout fancy slogans you don’t understand such as proportionality, occupation and apartheid.
   …
   I don’t care that you blame us for 1948 refugees, for the fact that they have no state, for…their fantasy of ‘right of return.’”

     @scottmatter “The Second World War
     Came to an end
     We forgave the Germans
     And then we were friends
     Though they murdered six million
     In the ovens they fried
     The Germans now too
     Have God on their side
     …
     But now we got weapons
     Of chemical dust
     If fire them we’re forced to
     Then fire them we must
     One push of the button
     And a shot the world wide
     And ya' never ask questions
     When God’s on your side”

     – Bob Dylan, With God On Our Side

     Oddly reminds me of the Dylan tune, “with god on our side”

     @EyalL I did. I’m no less appalled.

     @EyalL Right, it’s either killing thousands upon thousands of innocent Palestinian kids by bombing the hell out of Gaza or nothing. Anything else is giving Hamas impunity. Yes, that doesn’t sound genocidal at all.

     @aral better that you are appalled than that we are massacred.

     That's why we don't care. We can't afford to care. We'll lose our children if we give the impunity you wish us to give Hamas when it murders us, which is the only way to avoid civilian casualties.

     "...for we are the People of the Book."

     That's some scary shit right there. Not something I'd be proud of.
